Stay With Me!

He told them, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me." Mark 14:34

KEY THOUGHT: We desperately need the presence of friends who love and support us in our times of struggle and distress. Jesus needed these closest three followers -- Peter, James, and John to be there with him and help him bear his burdens. So often, we don't ask for help when we need it. In addition, we often forget to "stand with" those in need of support. Jesus' honesty in his moment of anguish is a powerful reminder that we need to do both!
